Hey everyone welcome back to my channel it's Veronica in today's video
I'm gonna be planning out my bullet journal for the month of April, so I'm gonna start out with my cover page
And I really wanted this whole thing to be kind of spring themed a lot with the greens and pinks and blues
So I'm gonna be painting some tulips in a mason jar
So I started out by sketching this with a pencil just
so that I kind of laid everything out to how I wanted it to look and
then I
Usually will take an eraser and kind of erase most of it
just to the point where I can still see it a little bit, and then I will paint over it I
Do really like planning everything out with pencil ahead of time because then you know exactly how it's gonna look
Some of you guys have been deeming me some of your pictures
From the Bullitt journals that you've recreated of mine, which is really awesome
so I'm excited to see what you guys are going to do with this one if you guys do recreate this make sure to
Tag me in it either on Instagram or Twitter or whatever because I absolutely love seeing what you guys come up with
So now like I said
I'm just going to be filling this in I'm going to be taking my watercolor pen with some light colors
And I'm just gonna start filling in the greens
And then the pinks I always like to start off with a light shade of whatever color
I'm using and then I'll go in with a little bit of a darker
shade of let's say green and filling in some of the shadows of the Leafs or the
petals of the flowers with like a darker pink the way
This is lit. It's kind of hard to see how much color I actually put into this
It is a little washed out in the video, but it's a lot more colorful in
Reality, so as I finished painting. I then took my gel pen and I
Colored in happy April that I had traced out already, and then I also went over the whole painting once
It was dry of course this just helps it to pop out a little bit
Sometimes watercolor is faded a little bit
And this makes it seem a lot more bright and colorful
So then that's it for my cover page, I really really love how this turned out
normally my paintings don't turn out exactly how I
envisioned them
But this did this is exactly how I wanted it to look so I was really happy about that so
Then moving on to my next page. This is where I'm going to have my monthly habit tracker I
Didn't end up doing a full calendar for the month of April just because I didn't think I was going to use it
Will see if I miss it then I'll add it in in the next month's video, so just to keep it simple though
I just did a habit tracker so starting out. I just traced again with my pencil
I traced out habit tracker, and then I'm also going to add some little leaf accents on the side
I was really excited when I did this whole setup because it was a lot easier
To plan since it is a dotted page you guys know with my old journals. I used to have to make all the little checkbox
squares for each day of the month for each task
So since the boxes are all made up in this journal
I didn't have to do any of that all I really had to do was write numbers at the top of each little
column of boxes a number for each day of the month and
Then I pretty much just had to
write each habit by the other column
You'll see what I mean
And then I took a ruler and I actually
sectioned off the box between the numbers and where I was going to fill everything in then besides each row of
Squares I just wrote the habits. I want to try and start doing more of this month I
Really have missed the habit tracker part of bullet journaling
I think I used this the most when I used to do this it really keeps you
Focused and it's really nice to see your progress after doing something for so long so
Then once I finished with the large portion of the habit tracker
I actually made the whole bottom of this page just for working out
So sometimes I'll go for runs sometimes
They'll do more of like a cardio or dance workout and then sometimes also lift weights, so
I usually only have one spot for workout, but it doesn't actually keep track of all the individual things
I'll do
So I wanted to get a little bit more in depth with this and so that's why I added a spot for running a spot
for
Yoga dance like I said
And then also if I lifted weights at all and then that wraps up my habit tracker for the month
I do have that extra page on the other side of the habit tracker, and I honestly think I'm just going to fill that with
Pictures that I take during the month of April and then moving on to the next page
I'm going to be planning out the first week in April. I know that's probably already past by the time
I've gotten this video up
But you guys can get the general idea for a weekly set up so for the weekly setup
I started out by making five boxes across the whole page
And they're probably going to be the biggest parts of the weekly planning I used to have a lot of other sections
But now I've really just narrowed it down to having a spot for each day and what I want to do throughout the whole week
so
After I made the five squares, I then made two smaller squares down on the bottom
And those are going to be first Sunday and Saturday. I don't usually try and accomplish as much on the weekends
I'm usually just kind of finishing up my stuff from the week on the weekends things that I don't get done
So those don't need to be as big then on the opposite side in the other corner
I
sectioned off a little square where I put a
Small little calendar of the entire month of April so I can kind of see where I am at in the month
Then the whole rest of the bottom is just going to be for weekly goals
So now keeping with that a leafy almost floral sort of theme
I'm going to be doing a ton of leaves up on the top and
Really, just throughout the whole page as well, then bringing in that blue. I'm actually going to be drawing out my
numbers for the day of the week in a blue watercolor paint and
Then I'm just going to fill in some more leaves with my pen and then once I'm finished with that
I'm going to go over the numbers
With the day of the week
Then I'll add some
last-minute touches
And then this is really finished. I didn't do too much with it
This time kept it simple
And I will fill it out as the week goes on
Honestly even though this whole set up is probably the simplest one. I've ever done. I do like it the best
I like keeping things simple sometimes and even though there's not as much included as with my old setup
I feel like this is going to be more functional for me
So that is it for my weekly setup and my habit tracker
And then my page for the month of April so that is it for this video
I hope you guys liked it like I said if you guys recreate any of this I'd love to see pictures
so you can tag me and um send them to me whatever I
Would love to see what you guys come up with I hope you guys have a wonderful day
And I will see you guys in my next video. Bye :)
